Completed
Conditions
Acute Pain Due to Trauma
Hip Fractures
Registration Number
NCT04914988
Lead Sponsor
Mahidol University
Brief Summary

The patient with hip fracture who has Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ≥ 5 at rest or on movement will be indicated for USG FICB at Emergency Department or patient's ward.

The aim of this prospective observation study was evaluated the efficacy and complications of cFICB in adult hip fracture preoperatively.

Detailed Description

The Enhance Recovery Program of pain management in geriatric hip fracture has been set up as a part of fast track at Siriraj Hospital since September 2017. The ultrasound-guided (USG) fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) is routinely offered to patients with a hip fracture by acute pain service (APS) anesthesiologist. The patient with hip fracture who has Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) ≥ 5 at rest or on movement will be indicated for USG FICB.

The aim of this prospective observation study was evaluated the efficacy and complications of cFICB in adult hip fracture preoperatively.
